Part 199: Sully C

There. Doesn't that feel better? Your mane is alllll combed. No more tangles! Who's a good pegasus? Huh? Who's a good wittle pegasus?!

Are you talking to that thing again?

Oh, hi, Sully.

You're spoiling the animal! She's practically died and gone to horse heaven.

She does look happy, doesn't she?

Ah, well. She's seen you safe through some terrible battles, so I suppose she earned it.

You're quite fond of your horse, too, aren't you, Sully?

Hell yes, I'm proud! He's got smarts and guts! What more could a woman want?

Hee hee! When you talk about him, you sound like a proud mother.

Eh, I'm not the maternal type.

Even so, it's obvious how fond you two are of each other. Whenever you praise him, he snorts ever so happily!

You noticed that? ...Huh. Most folks just assume he's some mindless beast.

Oh it's so nice to have someone to talk to about this sort of thing... Do you have a minute to talk more? Chat about pegasi and the like? ...I mean, if you don't mind? I know you're very busy. ...I don't mean to intrude.

Pfft! Intrude? I could talk horses until the cows come home!

Oh, wonderful! Let me just put on some tea and we can-

Hold it right there, girlie! You just combed that horse top to bottom. You deserve a rest. You relax and put your feet up-I'll make the tea this time.

Oh! Um, all right.

I'll be right back!

Hee hee, I've never seen Sully look so excited about anything
